Fedora 23 software downloads method?


Good day, I have been trying to download programs in Fedora 23, but I have been forced to use the terminal and yum install. But I can't find all the exact software names. I am using Fedora 23 LXDE the light one.

I have found it hard to find Document Viewer.

Is there a GUI for Fedora software downloads?

or
read the manual ?

fedora dose NOT use yum anymore
they moved to DNF in 22

Code:
su -
dnf --help

---------------- and the manual -------------

man dnf
SEE:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US...anagement.html



for a document viewer ???????


text file ????
PDF?
office -- libreoffice file ( or even a MICROSOFT office format)

for a text file
double click on it
( just like on Windows and Apple )
gedit is the default text editor and INSTALLED

For a pdf
double click on it
( just like on Windows and Apple )
evince is installed BY DEFAULT


For a odt( or other "office" format )
double click on it
( just like on Windows and Apple )
libreoffice ( or GOfice) is installed BY DEFAULT ( should be)
